Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from American Express Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Wolverhampton Wanderers today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Sa looks up at his defence and suggests that all is under control, but it doesn't fully seem like it. The ball squirms through to the back post where Mitoma beats the Portuguese international to it, but he manages to block the shot well.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Cunha has been a bright spark for Wolves in this opening half-an-hour. He has dropped deep to collect the ball and try to get things going but it hasn't come off just yet.

Sa is now down for Wolves. O'Neil is giving instruction but the first two occasions didn't seem to kill Brighton's momentum. Let's see if this next one does anything as some magic spray is used and he is back to his feet.

Wolves are really struggling when they get the ball. They win it in a promising position, just inside the centre circle but Lemina tries to spray a pass out wide and it is easily intercepted. Brighton come again.

WOW! That has Sa worried. Mitoma unleashes a shot from distance and it takes a nick off Dawson. It went over but it was dipping viciously.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Brighton have started to just set up in Wolves' half. They aren't forcing anything but are keeping the ball moving with players running off the ball. The away side are struggling to track those and sooner rather than later it could be costly for Wolves.

That's harsh on Gomes. He makes a great recovery challenge on Estpunian but is penalised. Brighton try to take the free-kick quickly and fluff their opportunity.

Welbeck has Brighton's first effort. He is picked out by Paul van Hecke but the Englishman can't keep his header down and it lands on the roof of the net.

Cunha is now receiving treatment after clashing his head on Baleba's knee. Again he gets up and carries on though.
